Documentaries We Like: Chasing Ice

Friends don’t let friends continue to believe there’s no climate change when they could simply show them Chasing Ice. This is not only the most powerful visual evidence of global catastrophe imaginable, it’s also one of the most disarmingly beautiful and riveting films you may ever see. Features the work of the celebrated photographer James Balog, who himself was once a climate skeptic, and has now spent years documented humanity’s folly.

Opens around the US in November.

Here’s a preview. (Also watch the second trailer, with stylish end title vocals from Scarlett Johansson.)
